DIY Aquarium Top Filter | How to make aquarium Filter at Home

[@gritzd5070]

Cool idea but you should definetly swap the inlet and outlet 1. Prevent backflow of dirty water/muck gathered at the bottom of the filter. 2. Allows easy access to mechanical filters for cleaning and replacing 3. The water catchment area at the bottom along with bio media will allow for full nitrogen cycle to take place.

[@franciscoayon9470]

So put water coming in at top,and water going out at bottom

[@xvhkgreen6297]

big mistake by him. what was he thinking?

[@jnightmare2386]

bog filter fill from bottom up

[@rashidmehmood4844]

he is right if we put water from top then only mechanical filtration if from bottom to top bio filterstion also like canister filter. For bio filteration need water holding so anyway we can hold water minimum 1 inch above the bio media .

[@harryhartawan6477]

​@@rashidmehmood4844 you can make the inlet from top, and outlet from bottom but the outlete pipe need to go up a bit till the biological filter drowned

[@johnray7039]

I will probably make like this but I will swap the inlet ang outlet. Thanks for the idea👌

[@mvs]

Very nice design, and this kinda filter works exceptionally better then any traditional filters, but if you attach a valve in the lead of the container it will fix the overflow. Because there will be overflow.

[@pctylex]

Tem como transbordar aí não 😂

Mantab bangg❤, sempet kaget pas di coba, gw kira meledak😂😂😂😂

[@josemac7891]

Increíblemente bello y funcional 100%

[@CanalL.M.A]

Ha água tem que entra por cima pra fazer a filtragem a ordem esta totalmente errado

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

Thank you for the great opinion boss. 😊

[@GreymsView-ix8yi]

Very cool I love watching your videos it always gives me ideas .

[@vernelfpv]

Pwersado ang pump sa ganyang setup lalo kung magbabara ang bottom portion

[@junetwentythirdify]

The inlet of the filter is in the wrong direction, if the power of the pump suddenly interrupts, the accumulated dirt will flow back,

[@ยิ่งเกียรติถาวรพานิชกิจ]

agree

[@franciscoayon9470]

Just fix it,he gave you an idea,fix it

What are those pump called

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

It is a 3 wats Submersible pump. 😀

[@prudhvimaxx6325]

I followed your video but water flowing top of cover . Problem is pump speed is more so how to reduce the speed of pump.

[@prudhvimaxx6325]

Water filling fast

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

What pump are you using sir? The pump I use sir is a nano submersible pump. It is a small pump for a small container. Thank you for following the video sir and Happy Fish keeping 😊🐠😀

[@nerigodoy7375]

👏👌

[@CHINOROSARIOFM]

don´t mad but, you are forcing the pump if you put the water intake up, the pump will work better

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

Thank you for the great advise sir. That's Very well noted! Happy Fish keeping 😊👍

[@84jimmyxu]

What size was your container box ?

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

Good day to you. The size of the container is 1.5L. I bought it on out local supermarket. At the food storage section. Or you can buy it online. Thank you and happy fish keeping 😊😁🐠

[@afrizalmiba5035]

Pipa masuk airnya lebih baik dari atas, kalau dari bawah airnya kalau mati listrik ke bawah lagi, yang ada media biologis nya kering

[@dhongtayong9335]

I think its much better if the flow was from top to bottom, that way it will be more filtered

[@jnightmare2386]

alot of filters are bottom up

[@joshuapenetrante4145]

how many watts is your submersible pump?

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

3 watts only. It's a nano submersible pump. 😁

[@MasterOfNone1980]

Where can I find that container?

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

I buy the container at our locar supermarket. On the food container section or you can buy it online 😊 thank you and happy fish keeping 😊

[@MichaelSerafin-n8y]

Pano po kung sa taas pina daan yung tubig di po ba matatangal yung takip at dikit nang pipe??

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

Pwede din naman sa taas boss. Ginawa ko kasi jan kaya galing sa baba pataas para masala ng mga Filter media's ang mga, dumi bago pumasok sa taas pabalik ng Tank ang tubig. And nakababad sa tubig ang Filter Medias. 😊😁🐠

[@alperyldz8920]

Harika el becerisi

[@selong6013]

that will be hard to clean, you have to remove all the medias so you can clean the sponge and wool

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

It is a small container, it just like a Hang on filter that can be easily clean. not like Sumps and Big Canister Filters. Thanks for the opinion and Happy fish keeping 😊👍

[@2869may]

Exactly...! He'll figure it out when he has to completely take it apart just to clean the pre filter media.... he could have so easily went top down. (none of the media is as good as 30PPI sponge)

[@FrancosReef]

Ciao, in primis complimenti per il fai da te, ma a mio modesto parere è un filtro con una tecnica errata. L'acqua dovrebbe incontrare per primo i materiali a filtrazionne meccanica (tutti e non separati), poi eventuale filtrazione chimica (opzionale) ed infine la filtrazione biologica. Nel tuo progetto hai creato e messo lì a caso, mischiando, meccanica e biologica, a strati, come se fosse un sandwich. Poi, coosa fondamentale, essendoo la vasca del tuo filtro trasparente, non è assolutamente consona ad ospitare materiale filtrante biologico essendo i batteri fotosensibili, quindi lasciando per un attimo perdere le bioballs e quei sassolini, che sono materiali non porosi e poco adatti ad ospitare batteri eterotrofi, ma la luce ucciderebbe quest'ultimi. Scusa poi se sono così prolisso, ma come fai a fare manutenzione senza muovere il materiale biologico filtrante? Perchè lo sai che quello non va smosso. Quindi si, ottimo fai da te sicuramente, ma filtro davvero poco funzionale.

If I extend the length of the outlet pipe, then can I keep it behind the aquarium instead of top? or is it designed to work only on top??

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

Yes sir you can also put it behind the aquarium as long as it levels on the top of the aquarium. Thank you and happy fish keeping 🐠😊😁

[@danfinley4734]

Lost me with the filter pad placement

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

Good day to you sir. Which filter pad do you mean? The filter wools and the bio foams?. 1st I place the bio foam on to the bottom of the container on the water inlet. then next is the washable foam, then small pebbles and filter wools then another washable foam and then the filter medias.

[@JoelDmello722]

I can see one big drawback of this design. As soon as the pump stops working all the dirt collected at the bottom off filter is going to get sucked back in the tank

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

Thank you for the great opinion boss 😊👍

[@dharry33]

Why?

[@kalayanamitartist9190]

you have done inmaculate work but the pump can not be inside the tank cause you will have that pump obstructed by the dirty material, pump should be inside the filter pumping the water free of dirty there is no sense to put the pump inside the dirty tank

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

Thank you for the Great Advise sir.

[@YasinBSRN]

Kafa motoru kapanınca bütün pisliği geri akvaryuma geri verecektir üzgünüm ama beyhude bir çaba olmuş

[@sampittv7309]

Hose*

[@fiks8888]

Catastrophically not durable design. Hot-melt adhesive with water does not work and will fall off unexpectedly, at the most inopportune moment. If the padding polyester and sponges are not too clogged, the pump will no longer be able to lift water into the filter. All dirt will accumulate at the lower level and when you try to remove the filter, it will flow into the aquarium. It is necessary to swap the water inlet and outlet. And this will also add to the height of the water rise. As an idea for making a filter, it’s not bad.

[@peterozenbrook1189]

the filter media is totally in the wrong order and makes this filter useless

[@jhayfishkeeperdiy]

Thank you for the opinion. Happy fish keeping to you! 😊

[@sanjaypatil3097]
